An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Girls as young as 13 are testing positive for pregnancy at ICE detention

Children in America's immigration system aren't being "protected." They're being ABUSED. KIDS as young as 13 are in immigration custody, testing positive for pregnancy while under government control. Survivor accounts and investigations describe sexual assault, molestation, and sexual coercion by officers and staff in multiple immigration facilities. Quietly, those girls are being moved. Instead of being spread across multiple sites, they're being transferred into a single facility in Texas, away from public view and real oversight. Last July the government ordered that all pregnant unaccompanied minors picked up by immigration enforcement be sent to that Texas facility. Now, children who test positive for pregnancy while in custody are being sent there too. ICE is a terrible institution that must be dismantled.
